"Goodbye. Mom, Dad, don't worry, I'll call you when Vance gets home safely. Lu Ke sat in the driver's seat, confirmed that the seat belt was fastened, and waved goodbye to Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning outside the window.

Vance also smiled and thanked again and again, "Thank you really for your hospitality today. Don't worry, Bambi won't sell me. I'm still very confident in that. ”

A simple tease that managed to make everyone chuckle.

Lu Ke started the car and left slowly, and it could be seen from the rearview mirror that Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning were still standing next to the road at the door, watching them go away, until the car turned a corner, and all the scenes in the field of vision were hidden in the shadowy house projection.

Lu Ke's gaze left the rearview mirror, shifted slightly, and through the refraction of the rearview mirror, it fell on the bright smile on the corner of Vance's mouth, and said with a smile, "Mr. Jacobs, if I'm not mistaken, you should have something to do with me alone, right?" ”

Vance's expression was slightly stunned, and then he looked at Lu Ke meaningfully, revealing a hint of scrutiny and exploration, as if he didn't understand what Lu Ke meant, and seemed to be thinking about how to answer, the ambiguous/ambiguous/unclear expression was really difficult to describe clearly for a while, and after a pause of about three seconds, he said, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because the title you used just now is not Lu Ke, but Bambi." Lu Ke still said with a smile on his face, as if he was just talking about how tonight's dinner was, "At home, my father and mother don't call me 'Bambi'; Neither will the Newmans, only when Logan is around. ”

Vance couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, not only did he not panic, but became more and more interested, "How can you be sure that I didn't hear about it from other places?" Although I'm not a football fan, there is a lot of news about you, and there are countless social media platforms, so I don't know that this is abnormal, right? ”

Lu Ke was the same, he was not angry, not angry, nor excited, but analyzed it unhurriedly.

"Because of coincidence. There are too many coincidences. Lu Ke kept the speed of the car in a steady state, and still conscientiously followed the instructions of the navigator and drove to the destination, "The first meeting between you and my father, as well as the subsequent friendships, and then the preferences of movies and records, there are too many coincidences in everything." ”

"It's Monday and you should know my dad and mom's working hours, they didn't leave work that early, but you got here early. Suppose, you just come and put down the vinyl record and leave, then you don't have to knock on the door, it's like ...... It's like you've known I'm at home. ”

Lu Ke's eyes could catch Vance's expression, he still didn't panic, his smile became brighter and brighter, as if Holmes was listening to an amateur policeman/detective/rookie analyzing the case absurdly.

Just as Vance was about to speak, Lu Ke raised his right hand to stop Vance from opening, and then said, "I'm a reporter. I believe in coincidence, but even more in calculation. ”

"Once it could be a coincidence, twice it could be a coincidence, but three or four times it wasn't. Of course, so far, all the clues are just self-speculation, and there is no direct evidence and no necessary connection, which is simply untenable. But ......" Lu Ke deliberately paused here for a moment, and then he could capture the expectation and exploration in Vance's eyes, which further determined Lu Ke's thoughts.

Subsequently, Lu Ke revealed the answer, "However, I asked tentatively just now, and your reaction is the best answer." ”

The first reaction of a normal person may be stunned, it may be angry, it may be inexplicable, but Vance's conditioned reflex is thinking, and the follow-up answers are extended step by step along the context of thinking, which also really determines Lu Ke's conjecture.

Or, in the depths of Vance's subconscious, he was not prepared to continue to hide it, but since Lu Ke had debunked it, he also revealed the answer along the way

Otherwise, if you miss today, the lie will have to continue, and it will be extremely difficult to change the tone in the future.

Vance paused, followed the veins and thought about the past, and then understood, and involuntarily smiled, chucking his head slightly, not knowing whether to approve or appreciate, or something else.

But this time Lu Ke did not continue to ask, but quieted down, quietly waiting for Vance's follow-up remarks.

Active and passive, the transition has been completed in the blink of an eye.

"If you don't become a professional footballer, you're going to be a good journalist." Vance laughed heartily, although he didn't admit it himself, but his generous and hearty attitude couldn't be more calm, which was equivalent to indirectly admitting all of Lu Ke's guesses.

"Now, let's get acquainted again. I'm Vance Jacobs, I'm in the marketing department of Nike Inc., and I'm now responsible for professional player management in the West Coast region. To put it simply, I'm in charge of signing new players and managing the signings. Vance took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and motioned to Lu Ke, "Do you mind?" ”

"Nope." Lu Ke shook his head and still focused on driving.

After getting permission, Vance opened the window and lit a cigarette, "Simply put, we are interested in signing with you, what do you think?" ”

There were really too many key points and slots, and Lu Ke didn't know where to start for a while, and his disturbing thoughts rushed to him, so that the surprise and shock were weakened a lot

Nike? It's Nike! That's Nike!

But there are too many problems now, in addition to being stunned, Lu Ke had to take a deep breath secretly, trying to hide his excitement and excitement, but this is not an easy task, the composure on the field is one thing, the lack of experience outside the field is another, the current Lu Ke is just a rookie who has been out of society for a year.

When he signed Under Armour, Lu Ke couldn't hold back his excitement, let alone Nike?

Nike in the United States and Adidas in Germany are currently the top two brands in the global sports goods market share, and they have almost all the top superstars of professional athletes, especially in the United States.

Who would have thought that now Nike would actually come to the door in person?

Accident, absolute accident.

After trying twice, Lu Ke still couldn't hide his emotions after all, so he simply showed it along the way, which was more real and simpler, "Wow, I need a little time to digest it, Nike?" Wow, have I reached such heights now? Straight into Nike's line of sight? ”

"With your current performance and results, it's strange that you're not in Nike's sights, right?" Vance didn't look surprised at all, and said slowly, "If my sources are correct, Adidas has already contacted you, hasn't it?" ”

Adidas?

When did it happen?

Vance immediately caught the change in Lu Ke's expression, "It seems that your agent hasn't told you yet." But it doesn't matter, we all need to take our time. ”

There was really too much shocking news, but Lu Ke calmed down, his thoughts gradually became clearer, and he grasped the key point at once, "In this way, you made a special trip to my father just to win his trust, and then try to complete the signing?" ”

Lu Ke's focus is not on Nike's lavish efforts, but on Vance's opportunism.

At the beginning, Lu Ke chose to move out alone, because he didn't want his work to affect his parents' peaceful life; But now, Vance is trying to use Lu Zhengze's friendship and Jiang Youning's kindness to achieve his own business goals.

To be honest, Lu Ke doesn't like this, and even hates it.

He knows that in the mall, this seems to be a normal roundabout method, and it is not uncommon to achieve the goal of persuasion through friends or family of professional players; But Vance's methods are really too realistic and too detailed, and he has really established a friendship with Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, and if they learn that all this is false, then how disappointed and how blamed themselves.

Vance could sense Lu Ke's vigilance and repulsion, as well as anger.

In order to successfully sign Lu Ke, Vance has been trying to find a breakthrough, and his family is undoubtedly the best choice. But now it seems that this is a double-edged sword, he can get close to Lu Ke through his family, but he may also anger Lu Ke because of his family.

"Jack and I are friends indeed." Vance took a preemptive position, "Jack and Anne's friendship is an unexpected bonus, and if through them, the signing can be successfully completed, which is naturally a good thing; But even if we don't, we're still friends. That's not going to change. ”

"I want you to keep your promise that my father and mother will never need to know your real job." Lu Ke's voice became cold, and he expressed his position firmly. Nike is important and may bring a steady stream of wealth to his career; But family is more important, and Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning are always the first objects that Lu Ke needs to consider.

In the face of Lu Ke's seriousness and sincerity, Vance let out a long breath and said with a smile, "Oh, about this, Jack already knew about my work before, about Nike, about the players, but I never mentioned that Nike wants to be able to complete the signing with you." ”

In other words, Vance chose a conspiracy rather than a conspiracy.

confessed his identity in a dignified manner, but only concealed part of the truth, and completed the paving work for the follow-up potential possibilities early. Even if Wan calmly expressed his intentions and thoughts in the end, Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning would not be harmed, but suddenly realized.

Lu Ke was slightly stunned, and a smile rose little by little on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that you came prepared." 2k reading network
